Exporting as web pages (HTML files)
You
can export presentations as a series of web pages that can be viewed
in any browser.
|
Note
|
Saving
as web pages (HTML format) does not retain animation and slide
transitions.
|
Select File
> Export and choose
HTML Document
as the file type.
Create
a folder for the files, supply a name for the resulting HTML file,
and click Save. The HTML Export Wizard opens.
|
Note
|
Depending
on the size of your presentation and the number of graphics it
contains, the HTML export function creates many HTML, JPG, and
GIF files. If you simply save to your desktop (not in a specific
folder), these separate HTML and graphics files will be all over
your desktop. So be sure to create a folder to hold all the
files.
|
Choose
the design for all of the pages, either from an existing design or
by creating a new one.
If
you have not previously saved a design, the Existing Design
choice is not available.
Click
Next to select
the type of web pages to create.
Standard
HTML: one page for each slide, with navigation links to move
from slide to slide.
Standard
HTML with frames: one page with a navigation bar on the
left-hand side; uses slide title as navigation links. Click on
links to display pages in right-hand side.
Automatic:
one page for each slide, with each page set with the Refresh meta
tag so a browser automatically cycles from one page to the next.
WebCast:
generates an ASP or Perl application to display the slides.
Unfortunately OOo has no direct support for PHP as yet.
Decide
how the images will be saved (GIF or JPG) and what resolution to
use.
When
choosing a resolution, consider what the majority of your viewers
might have. If you use a high resolution, then a viewer with a
medium-resolution monitor will have to scroll sideways to see the
entire slide—probably not desirable.
If
Create title page was chosen in step 4, supply the
information for it on the next page. The title contains an author
name, e-mail address and home page, along with any additional
information you want to include.
This
page of the Wizard does not display if Create title page was
not chosen.
Choose
the navigation button style to use to move from one page to
another. If you do not choose any, OOo will create a text
navigator.
Select
the color scheme for the web pages. Available schemes include the
document’s existing scheme, one based upon browser colors, and a
completely user-defined scheme. You can save a new scheme so that
it will appear on the first page of the HTML export wizard.
Click
Create to
generate the HTML files. If this is a new design, a small dialog
pops up. If you might want to reuse this design, you can give it a
name and save it. Otherwise, click Do Not Save.
